    forgive my typing skills, but I think you will understand my concern ?

  • Tight Fist

    I asked the elected congressional officials of my area & individuals of the supreme court if the constition was “LAW”. NO RESPONCE FROM SUPREME COURT, & ONE CONGRESSIONAL AID SAID “NO”. I HAVE MADE INQUIRIES TO THE offal office about various matters ( illegalities, executive orders, only enforcing particular parts of a law, getting laws past that break other laws) AND GOT “NO” RESPONSE. SINCE BOTH PARTIES IN POWER DON’T COMPREHEND THE SITUATION, WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE? SINCE obama does what he please, why do we need him ?

  • Wyatt

    As most everyone is critical of these appointments it surprises me that no one has come right out and said it . Well since you are all to timid I will say it ‘ DICTATOR ‘ ! This is essentially what we have , not a President . And if you think he has been audacious up to now , wait till you catch his act up to the election . And should he be elected again (God Forbid) it will be much worse as he will then take it as a sign that it is what the people want .
    Expect to see Idi Osama Obama ,declare himself president and Dictator for life . For all you closet Obamites on here I truely hope you enjoy your existence then because that is exactly what it will be .

      YOU GOT THAT RIGHT 100%

    • eddie47d

      Not a thing he said was right which shows how some of you lemmings bite into anything. There will be no President for life under Obama’s watch not in this term and not in his second term if reelected. Your as insane as those saying the 2012 elections will be cancelled and Martial Law will be implemented. The right is becoming less credible with each passing day and you are proof of that.

      • Joe H.

        eddie,
        I hope and pray you are right and it doesn’t come to pass. However, if it does, I’m going to come on here as long as I am able and call you every name I can think of, filthy or not every day!!!!

      • eddie47d

        You in all your phony “conservative” glory do that all the time anyway Joe. I think it’s your temper problem and your still a lemming and will continue to be one after the election. I expect to see alot of apologies with all these false conspiracy theories about the 2012 elections. I can’t wait!

      • Joe H.

        eddie,
        please hold your breath while you wait for me to appologize to YOU!! I wouldn’t appologize to you if you gave me a one ounce gold coin for every word!!! you don’t understand, boy, i don’t like you and you sit here in judgement of every good constitutional conservative on this site, you try to bull crap people into thinking you support Dr. Paul when the truth is you think he can’t beat your hero Adumber so you tell people to support him, you try to convince people that martial law couldn’t possibly happen when you know it could and thereby keep some from being prepared for it, in general, edd, you aren’t worth powder it would take to……!

        Ed-duh’s convoy just took a direct hit! Ed-duh, if you posted some sources, I would ease up on you. You say you are smart? How can you be when you give nothing to back up what you say. You must not have graduated college. When I had to write papers for my history professors, I had to list my sources on the back of my written assignments. This would count end notes also. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

        Yea—Is that right Eddie??? And who graced you with all this knowledge and wisdom??? Are you a fortune teller maybe??? We only know what we’re told and shown.

      I agree with you on Peta. A memorial for a cow??? My niece’s husband was almost killed a few months back because someone’s cow was in the middle of the road. He suffered a severe head injury in spite of wearing a helmet when he hit the animal. Totaled his motorcycle and almost totaled him. What has it cost my niece?? He went to his priest brother upon leaving the hospital, wouldn’t talk to her and had a restraining order issued. Then 3 days before Christmas he had her evicted from their home with only 15 minutes to get out with the children. Last week he obtained a divorce. One lousy cow wandering down the road, and a family is destroyed, yet Peta wants to memorialize the cow.

    History of Controversial Presidential Recess Appointments

     President Barack Obama used his constitutional power of recess appointments to name former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray as the chief of a new consumer watchdog agency created by Congress.
     Associated Press reported Senate Republicans have been blocking Cordray’s nomination because of differences they have over the role of the agency, not Cordray’s qualifications.
    Here are other controversial presidential recess appointments:
    Judge Charles Pickering
    President George W. Bush twice appointed U.S. District Judge Charles Pickering to a seat on the Fifth Court of Appeals. After successfully being approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Democrats chose to filibuster his nomination to prevent it from being voted on by the full Senate. According to the Federal Judicial Center, Bush used a recess appointment in January 2004 to seat Pickering on the appeals court. The appointment ended two years later and Pickering was not renominated.
    John R. Bolton
    Bush also used a recess appointment in 2005 to install Bolton as the ambassador to the United Nations after a protracted nomination process in the Senate. The New York Times reported Bush made the appointment to fill a six-month vacancy at the U.N. Bolton received the support of a majority of senators but was unable to muster enough to overcome a filibuster, including the vocal opposition of Ohio Republican Sen. George Voinovich. Bolton served just two years as ambassador and Bush did not resubmit his nomination to the next Senate.

  • ovil

    I believe ObamA IS NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED TO BE OUR PRESIDENT and so do millions of people in this country so WHAT IS BEING DONE IN THE congress by our electerd officials who ignore our cries for help, to either clarify that issue or do something about it. They did at least try to impeach Clinton but sit idly by twidling their thumbs while Obama leads us down the path of destruction. lets clean house.

    • http://deleted Claire

      Are any of the candidates qualified to be POTUS? The way things are going, I don’t think so. I am beginning to have my doubts about all of them.

        Claire – That’s the most sensible question I’ve seen asked.

        What’s more, I can’t understand why anyone would WANT the job, especially now.

    • Tight Fist

      TWO THINGS ONE SHOULD CONSIDER. THE U.S. & MOST OF THE WORLD FUNCTIONS IN CYBER SPACE (LITTLE GETS THE ATTENTION OF MANY WITHOUT SOME KIND OF EXTREME OR OUTRAGEOUS ACTION) & THE GREATEST CYBER SPACE LIES BETWEEN THE EARS OF EACH PERSON IN THAT WORLD. SINCE SCIENCE SAYS WE ONLY USE ABOUT 10% OF THAT SPACE (MANY NOT TOO EFFICIENTLY) WHAT MIGHT BE ACCOMPLISHED IF WE STARTED ACTIONS INSTEAD OF REACTIONS? WHEN DOES A THEORY BECOME A CONSPIRACY? “WE” NEED TO DEMAND AN ACCOUNTING FROM THOSE WHO “WERE” ELECTED TO REPRESENT US & THAT IS THE ACTION THAT “THEY” FEAR MOST.

    • eddie47d

      ovil; I have heard and seen numerous people wanting the impeachment of Bush/Cheney over the years.Their actions created much of what we are dealing with now from the Patriot Act,TSA,Iraq War,financial meltdown,accepting torture as an American value,the blind acceptance in losing our civil liberties. Should they have been impeached? Obama does have the NDAA hanging over his head and now faces the same wishful thinking that you have.

Why didn’t he bring home all of our troops from Iraq within the first 6 months as he promised? You have only said half truths, a you neglect to look at what Obama bin Laden has and hasn’t done. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Eddie47d

        Once again FLASE FLAG patriotism and political pressure. Trying to expose someone for not “defending” America is a death signal for that politician. To some wars equal greatness and if you don’t support those wars you are the enemy. Several Presidents and even ordinary Americans have played that game.Unfortunately that is why Ron Paul will not get elected because he doesn’t fall for that phony patriotism like the other candidates do. The same with the Patriot Act,Paul is the only one who ties it in to the loss of civil liberties. Romney,Gingrich,Santorum and Perry don’t.

    • http://yahoo Lynda Doyle Rodriguez

      AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!! Could not have put it better..My next Question is, Why he he still in office? Impeachment is a way to find Mr president with his crew standing on the steps of a plane, crying and waving, bye bye and stomping his foot like an angry child? Say what you will about Bush..His bombing of Iraq killed more soliders and put America in debt..Does anyone remenber what country bombed our buildings killing more than 3000 people? Can we say..Saudi Arbs..Our military men and women died For Oil..To build a pipe line from Afgan to middle east..I’m becoming too upset over goverment of man..Lord Jesus come now Father God..I don’t want to wait anylonger..

    Hey I thought there were not suppose to be any name calling in these replys. President Obama is not Ben Loden. One thing for sure, I don’t respect your so called opinion Mr.Samurai. So therefore the rest of what you had to say doesn’t count in my books. President Obama is not responsible for everything that has happened here. You forget about the last Republican President we had, Bush that wanted to finish what his Daddy started. Why don’t you blame him and get off our President and go look in the mirror. I’m so sick of people being in complete denial. No Obama isn’t perfect but OMG look what our Presidents have done. Top one is they stole our Social Security and Medicare. Why should I trust any of our Government. They haven’t proved anything to me to really support them especially republican or the so called Tea Party. God Help us cause we are going to need it instead of putting everyone down, look for an answer people.

    • Tight Fist

      you are expressing your opinion & congratulate you for it, but are you asking your elected officials, the white house, supreme court, & writing letters to the editors (if you can get them published)Why? if all these folks were flooded with “WHY”, then “maybe” this country is salagable. I have asked my representative to investigate obama, since the only proof we have are his photo ops, & still get an understandable response. If SNOPES.COM is a reasonable source of information, they say the “CONSTITUTION” is the supreme law of the land. Ask someone & keep asking until you get a reasonable understand & not the political correctness of the time. I have been call a conservatard because I question, but question, question, question.

    • Joe H.

      sharon Goodwin,
      you need to do a little research into who STARTED the raiding of social security in the FIRST PLACE!!! also, abummer may not have started the patriot act, but he sure as hell reauthorized it and strengthened it!! Yes, Bush was an azzhole, but Abummer is Bush on steroids!!!

      • eddie47d

        Your a smart girl Lynda both the Republicans and Democrats are and will continue these actions for a long time. Bush framed the game in false patriotism and no matter who is elected (except Paul) will continue these same practices. It’s the fear of Not looking patriotic that all the candidates and our fellow Americans are fearful of. Just tonight Perry said he would send troops back into Iraq and Santorum has said we will invade Iran. The more wars we get into the more our civil rights will go missing for that is the new America.

    • Tight Fist

      should the ones who burn flags be burned. I believe there is a better way to show everyone’s concern. once upon a timE an American flag flown upside down was an acknowledgeD sign of danger. get 1,000 people to do that & explain why they are doing so, is a start.

    To answer my own question the ruling about desecration of the flag was struck down in 1989. They have tried to bring it back several times. It makes it through the House but always fails in the Senate.

  • clarence swinney

    Is there a non hypocrite among so called Conservatives/

    Why were you mute on recess appointments by Reagan-BushI- Bush II????

    • Tim Strike

      Two things, recess appointments are usually after the nomination has been hung up in Congress for a while – Obama asked for these appointments two weeks ago (during the Christmas holiday). Second, the Senate was not in recess, Obama declared them in recess since they were not in the Senate chambers when he made the appointment. This is a clear abuse of power. If this stands then any president can make all the “recess” appointments they want on weekends and at night.

      • Joe

        Precisely right, Tim. The Senate was *not in recess*…so no “recess appointments” could validly be made. Obama knows it; he simply doesn’t care. Remember what Phil Hare, Congressman from (wait for it…)*Illinois* said, “I dont’ worry about the Constitution.” This of, course, despite having taken an oath to do exactly that. It’s almost to the point that Dems aren’t hypocrites, anymore, because they *acknowledge* that they’re going to do what they want to do, and that they don’t give a fig about laws, rules…or the Constitution itself.

      • Erich

        How Long Must the Senate Be in Recess Before a President May Make
        a Recess Appointment? The Constitution does not specify the length of time that the Senate must be in recess before the President may make a recess appointment.

      • SingerGuy

        In 2007, Democrats held the same pro forma sessions every few days — “each of which lasts only a few seconds” — to prevent George W. Bush from making recess appointments. They can’t just dismiss the same strategy as a “gimmick” now. “King Barack’s” disregard for the Senate’s powers amounts to “blatantly unconstitutional overreach.”

      • eddie47d

        Here we go again G Bush can do it but Obama can’t and visa versa.Is it legal or not from either side? There were NO Congressional duties being performed thus it was considered a recess. If any business was being performed then it wouldn’t be considered a recess. The Republicans have blocked numerous appointments under this administration. This latest appointment has been in the works for a couple of years and no previous nomination was put into place. So there seems to be deliberate obstruction going on. ( Yes the Democrats play this same game). Yet all the candidates seem to be qualified so I would put the pressure on the Republicans for slowing down the appointment process on this one.

        How Long Must the Senate Be in Recess Before a President May Make
        a Recess Appointment? The Constitution does not specify the length of time that the Senate must be in recess before the President may make a recess appointment.

    • Ted Crawford

      No, Helen2 there isn’t. Afew years ago an incident arose that required a Supreme Court decision, their finding was that no such law existed.
      Initually I was violently angry! Then, in time and reflection I realized that the decision created a textbook example of just why our Republic is so great! We had the right to express our opinions, however idiotic, without fear of reprisals!

        There are also people(governments) all over the world including the USA who start wars by stirring up lies about another country. Then using flags and patriotism to keep those illegal wars going. Worked for Hitler in invading Poland and Bush in Iraq. False FLAG patriotism each time. Johnson also did it in Vietnam and that is why the flag was burned in protest over another illegal and unconstitutional War.

        Hitler did not lie about invading Poland. He tried diplomacy at first, like he did with the Sudentenland, but England and France were dead set aginst him doing this (Since he had invaded Czechoslavakia for no reason other than land.). So, he turned around and invaded Poland to get the land he wanted, but ended up getting more. This is where the world was so surprised by the speed of the German forces. The world got a peek at Blitzkreig. Need to get your history right before you post it. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      Our flag was burned on December 31, 2011 by none other than Barak H. Obama. With complicit participation of 93 members of our Senate and 283 members of the House.
      I would rather see a Patriot burn our flag in protesting the misrepresentation of it by our elected representatives (not leaders) to the world, than to see our representatives (not leaders) burn it in their attempts to shred our Constitution and the B.of R. on a continued assault. We watched it burn when the Patriot Act was enacted, extended, and amended, ObamaCare, The Food Safety Act, National I.D. now NDAA and we’ll watch it burn again at the soon to be SOPA gala. Action has to be taken at the community level with recalls or indictments for impeachment, and I haven’t seen any of that as of yet. It’s our district representatives (House & Senate) that are one of our bigger problems as they are the root of the infestation that is plaguing our capitol. If we can’t find honest people to represent us in our districts then it doesn’t say much for our moral convictions or our determination. Do this, end the FED, and elect a true defender of the Constitution as POTUS (there’s one standing right in front of US) then we might just be on the right track again.

        Yours is but one of many that have researched that area and it continues to comes up the same – “zero”. Which in turn does garner enough questions as to the validity of his being Constitutionally qualified and or eligible to hold the position of POTUS. This also applies to the his claims of non-association with nefarious groups/organizations – all of them. But the problem lies not only in the personal side of this problem but also within the ranks of the DNC and beyond. As to the possibility of this ever being brought out into the light, public light, is extremely doubtful. You must keep in mind that they will manage to manipulate or blatantly direct an overwhelming assault by their proudly supporting MSM, which they clearly have control of, to obliterate such questions into the files of “conspiracy theory” or whichever file is most fitting. Never underestimate your enemy – they will go to any lengths necessary to avoid any portion of the truth to arise.

Your derriere does not grow like her’s has since her husband took office if you are truly eating like she is telling everyone they should be eating. She needs to mind her own business and quit taking expensive vacations all the time. This woulds do two things, save the taxpayers a lot of money and reduce the size of her derriere. When you take the kind of vacations she takes, (in just 2011 her vacations cost us $10 million), you know she isn’t eating properly. If she wants to tell the country how to eat, she needs to practice what she preaches.

        My wife has a large derriere also Helen but didn’t when I married her. She seldom eats breakfast(maybe toast),sometimes skips lunch and eats less than I do at dinner. She does snack on chips once in awhile but not enough to enlarge her posterior. Her mother looked exactly the same at that age so it doesn’t always come down to pigging out. Bodies change with time and some skinny people don’t look so good either. I think it’s great that Michelle teaches good eating habits and exercise. Take a look at some of the “fat” and flabby professional coaches that are out there who many look up to.

    Well, then! Here is the complete list of the President’s enumerated powers:

    Art. I, Sec. 7, cls. 2 & 3, grants to the President the power to approve or veto Bills and Resolutions passed by Congress.

    Art. I, Sec. 9, next to last clause, grants to the executive Branch – the Treasury Department – the power to write checks pursuant to Appropriations made by law – i.e., by Congress.

    Art. II, Sec. 1, cl.1, vests “executive Power” [see below] in the President.

    Art. II, Sec. 1, last clause, sets forth the President’s Oath of Office – to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”.
    Art. II, Sec. 2, cl.1:

    •makes the President Commander in Chief of the armed forces when they have been called by Congress into the actual service of the United States. 3
    •authorizes the President to require the principal Officers in the executive Departments to provide written Opinions upon the Duties of their Offices.
    •grants the President power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for offenses against the United States, 4 but he can not stop impeachments of any federal judge or federal officer.
    Article II, Sec. 2, cl. 2 grants to the President the power:

    •to make Treaties – with the advice and consent of the Senate. 5
    •to nominate Ambassadors, other public ministers and Consuls, federal judges, and various other officers – with the advice and consent of the Senate.
    Article II, Sec. 2, cl. 3 grants to the President the power to make recess appointments, which expire at the end of Congress’ next session.

    Art. II, Sec. 3:

    •Imposes the duty on the President to periodically advise Congress on the State of the Union, and authorizes the President to recommend to Congress such measures as he deems wise.
    •Authorizes the President, on extraordinary Occasions, to convene one or both houses of Congress [e.g., when he asks Congress to declare War]; and if both houses can not agree on when to adjourn, he is authorized to adjourn them to such time as he deems proper.
    •Imposes the duty upon the President to receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers.
    •Imposes the duty upon the President to take care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and
    •Imposes the duty upon the President to Commission all the Officers of the United States.
    That’s it! Anything else the President does is unlawful and a usurpation of powers not granted.

      Thanks for posting the FACTS, Mr joe1cr.

Mr. Cordray is a great, compromise candidate that they wouldn’t consider, because of course he would actually protect the consumers that their big bank buddies don’t want protected. It was, in fact, an Interim Appointment. NOT unconstitutional. We’ll see the next Session make the next move.

        One of the unfortunate aspects of reading what others think is the Viagra envy goons. You should know them by now. They are the ones that come off with “lock and load”, “keep your powder dry,”need to take these b*******ds out”, etc. Just like in a schoolyard a lot of tough talk. Where I come from if you are going to do something you do it not just talk about it unless you wanted to be thought of as a bunch of hot air. I also get disappointed with liberal sites as well. I get to read a bunch of one line rhetoric and suffer a lot of misspelling. I get to read the usual name calling too. As a matter of fact there is so much junk that the argument gets jumbled in the trash.

        Wayne; So what if Obama is introduced at a union rally for he is introduced at business meeting also. The difference is that Obama cares about all Americans unlike the union bashers who only want their candidates to attend business rallies. Your mind is narrow Wayne and your BS is spread very wide.

        As has been pointed out in a number of places, there’s a big problem with your view. It *isn’t* an interim appointment, which can be made only when the Senate is *not is session*. The Senate *is*, in fact, in session (and was when the appointment was made) based on the “pro forma” sessions used to permit the Senate to remain in session over the holidays. The White House (and feckless Harry Reid) are poo-poohing the pro-forma sessions as a “gimmick,” but there are two problems with this view. First, Reid and the Dems came up with the notion of “pro forma sessions” specifically to STOP George Bush from *making* interim appointments. How’s that not hypocritical, now that it’s this guy making ‘em? Second, recall that the two-month extension of the tax breaks, that Obama just signed, was passed into law *by one of these pro forma sessions*. Clearly, Obama didn’t think they were just a “gimmick” then; he accepted them as real, live, honest-to-God Senate sessions, able to do grown up Senatory stuff like pass laws he liked. He shouldn’t now be able to shrug them off as a gimmick, surely.

    • JUKEBOX

      I believe Obama confused “Constitution” with “Prostitution”, because he is acting like a “PIMP” for the Unions and the left wing groups.

      • eddie47d

        There are plenty of PIMPS to go around in influencing policy and issues and you should know that. The Patriot Act was passed because those on the right herded their fellow Congress persons into accepting it. The right formed Homeland Security without thinking of the repercussions of their actions. They allowed TSA to have unlimited powers in searching citizenry. The right with approval from the left side phonied up the false flag Iraq War. The right has consistently voted down any financial reform and sided with the corporations so wasn’t that allowing big business to run America instead of the voters? There was a whole lot of influence peddling going on there so blaming the left tells me you don’t have a clue.Now if NDAA is enforced against Americans then you will have a valid reason to complain about being prostituted from the left but until then you have to acknowledge where these polices came from and who started to impose them on the American people. Then you will have some credibility.

      Very true about the Unions Samurai. from the late ’20′s thru May 2, 1933 Hitler pandered to the Unions, giving them virtualy everything they wanted. On May 2, 1933, having consolidated his power and no longer in need of their support, he had their offices raided and arrested all the leaders and permanantly banned collective bargining! Richard Trumpka might want to do a little historic research!

      • SingerGuy

        I received the following in an email recently. Haven’t had an opportunity to try and debunk it, so take it for what it’s worth.

        The Plot Thickens….
        ISN’T IT TRUE THAT TO GET A SSN ONE MUST BE A CITIZEN OF THE USA? WHY USE ANOTHER PERSON’S??

        An intensive investigation has revealed the identity of the man whose Social Security number (SSN) is being used by President Obama: Jean Paul Ludwig, who was born in France in 1890, immigrated to the United States in 1924, and was assigned SSN 042-68-4425 (Obama’s current SSN) on or about March 1977.

        Ludwig lived most of his adult life in Connecticut. Because of that, his SSN begins with the digits 042, which are among only a select few reserved for Connecticut residents.

        Obama never lived or worked in that state! Therefore, there is no reason on earth for his SSN to start with the digits 042. None whatsoever!

        Now comes the best part! Ludwig spent the final months of his life in Hawaii, where he died.

        Conveniently, Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, worked part-time in the Probate Office in the Honolulu Hawaii Courthouse, and therefore had access to the SSNs of deceased individuals.

        The Social Security Administration was never informed of Ludwig’s death, and because he never received Social Security benefits, there were no benefits to stop and therefore, no questions were ever raised.

        The suspicion, of course, is that Dunham, knowing her grandson was not a U.S. Citizen, either because he was born in Kenya or became a citizen of Indonesia upon his adoption by Lolo Soetoro, simply scoured the probate records until she found someone who died who was not receiving Social Security benefits, and selected Mr. Ludwig’s Connecticut SSN for Obama.

        Just wait until Trump gets past the birth certificate and onto the issue of Barry O’s use of a stolen SSN. You will see leftist heads exploding, because they will have no way of defending Obama. Although many Americans do not understand the meaning of the term “natural born” there are few who do not understand that if you are using someone else’s SSN it is a clear indication of fraud.

        Let’s all get this information out to everybody on our mailing lists. If the voters of this great nation can succeed in bringing this lying, deceitful, cheating, corrupt, impostor to justice it will be the biggest and best news in decades for our country and the world.

      • Luis Rafael

        Knowing this and Obama’s Birth date, I hope that ‘many’ will steal his identity and used.

        SG,
        That would all be well and fine BUT, and please do note its a very BIG but,- we for one have not used the ” Original” Constitution for well over 150 years.
        We use and have used the 1871 Constitution from 1871 on to today.

        I beg all of you to PLEASE do some looking in to it and PROVE it to yourself, don’t take my word hell its all quite well doucmented and with some slight effort anyone can prove all this to themself.

        We are under UCC Law, that lends to Maritime Law, as both fail to fit under the ” ORIGINAL ” Constitution you have very valid proof of what I say with just that alone.
        But please try and PROVE me wrong, what you will find is you can’t.

        Als, as O Barry is a CEO and not a POTUS, just as we have NO Congress its all just a word play, what we really have is little more than a Board of Directors.
        That means in simple words, We have NO RIGHTS under either the bill of rights or the ” Original” Constitution, as the 13th and 14th Amendments took away all your rights.

        Again I beg all of you do the work and find out for yourself. The more of you that know the TRUTH, the faster we can all spread the TRUTH.

        Again out of 44 POTUS, 43 have been related by blood.
        Thats so easy to prove, all it would take is two seconds on google.

        If you all don’t wake the hell up very soon, you will not be posting here anylonger as this sight will be closed down.
        OH and you will all be tracked down and placed in a CAMP where more than likly you will never be seen again.
        Think bloody HITLER’S holiday camps.

        Really wake up, open the real PANDORA’S BOX, and look inside.

        Youtube is now taking down 10,000 feeds per day; so before you will not be able to find truth’s anywhere, so get busy.

        Also Look into the following, Alex Jones, sights prisonplanet.com

      • Kate8

        TIME – Apparently, what you say is true. We haven’t been operating under our Constitution and Bill of Rights for a very long time. And, that being the case, there are no requirements to be POTUS (CEO) except that one be the pick of the elite power brokers.

        However, since this change to our governance was made without the consent of the people, we can claim our sovereign being and renounce any jurisdiction of this maritime law. This “law” can only claim authority over corporate interests, and we, as natural humans, are not corporate entities, and therefore cannot be bound by corporate law except by our consent.

        Sure, the PTB are becoming more brazen and have very big guns. But if we continue to hand ourselves over to them like cowering dogs, our fates will be worse than if we stand up and, possibly, fall by one of their weapons. You know, give me liberty or…and all that.

        If we stand up to them, we may perish. But if we don’t, we and all those we love will surely perish.

        Erich: Snopes is an old man and his wife working off of their kitchen table from what I have read. They are simply parrots repeating what they are told to repeat. George Soros has been named in some circles as being their funding and pulling their strings. There was a story a while back where they quoted a source involved in a story and he said he had never been contacted by Snopes and their statement was wrong. Also, if Snopes says Obama might have had a mailing address in CT but didn’t live there, exactly why would that be? Where is any mention of him having a mailing address there? That is a long ways from HI.

      • Alex Frazier

        Singer, the reason that SSN starts with 042 and now belongs to a person born in the early 60s, assuming that’s actually his SSN, is that it formerly belonged to someone who is now dead. Beginning with a 0, it would have belonged to someone closer to the beginning of the SS program.

        I could be wrong, but I have always understood SSNs to rotate numerically. As one person died, the number was issued to a new applicant. I’ve never heard of it having anything to do with any state of origin.

        Also, people who steal SSNs for personal use tend to assume the name and identity of the person whose SSN it is. It’s not like I can take John Smith’s number and pay Alex Frazier SS taxes on it.

        If he’s using a bogus number belonging to someone dead and unreported, then he’s either getting away with something that no one, even a person trying to get a bit of financial credit, can get away with, because credit checks require the name and number to match. You can’t file tax returns, because the name and number doesn’t match.

        He would presently, prior to any presidential bid, have been in trouble for tax evasion long ago. And he would have been in trouble long enough ago that there wouldn’t be any powers that be intervening. He’d have just been busted.

        So I would take that information with a grain of salt. Anything is possible, but it doesn’t sound likely to me from a logical point of view.

        Everything about him is a lie! Obama bin Laden have some other things incommom. First, they were not born in the country they were elected in. Hitlet was from Austria, not Germany. Obama bin Laden from either Kenya or Indonesia, not the U.S. Second, both used unions. Hitler turned on them in the end, but Obama bin Laden is still using them. I wonder what will happen when they become useless to him? Will he do the same thing by slamming them in some way? They both transformed their counties into socialist states. Obama bin Laden hasn’t turned the U.S. into a totally socialist run state, but he is trying is hardest to do so. Tird, they have sent troops to other countries for their own political or personal gain. Hitler invaded Austria, to unite Germany with his homeland and suuport the Nazi Party there, and Czechoslavakia, who were protesting to the international community about the loss of the Sudentenland. Obama bin Laden bombed Lybia, without any voting by Congress or the Senate, bombed places in Yemen, Pakistan, and sent troops to Uganda, maybe to support his brother in Kenya. Fourth, they both had a “Youth Corps” and used children to help them get elected. We all remember how children used to sing songs about Hitler and how the children from a school in Chicago sang the “Obama bin Laden song.” Fifth, they also wanted to have a civilian army to be just as large and as trained as the army was. Hitler had the SS and to some extent, the Gestapo, Obama bin Laden had his own:

        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmOoAcEeyO

        They also began to lose favor with the people and with their own parties after coming to power. Could this be that the people, Germans and now Americans, have found out too late what they had voted into office?

        With money and power behind him, they would be orchesrating his fake identification and numerous SS#s. The very fact that he rose virtually from nowhere, with no verifiable past, no one who remembers him (except a few unsavories who haven’t been reported in the MSM, and more unsavories who met with tragic deaths (except one, who survived an attempt on his life and has been blacklisted by the media), and has everyone in government and media covering for him no matter how many have claimed that we have the right to know…

        S.S. numbers are have never been re-issued,

        SSA has issued about 365 million Social Security numbers, and about 10 million new numbers are assigned each year. But even at this rate, there will be no need to reissue the same numbers, revise the present system, or devise a new numbering system for several generations. For this reason, SSA plans to continue using the nine-digit number.

        Q20: Are Social Security numbers reused after a person dies?

        A: No. We do not reassign a Social Security number (SSN) after the number holder’s death. Even though we have issued over 453 million SSNs so far, and we assign about 5 and one-half million new numbers a year, the current numbering system will provide us with enough new numbers for several generations into the future with no changes in the numbering system.

        None of the facts in that e-mail makes any sense. The first 3 digits of the SSN does not indicate the state where it was issued. My family applied for SSN at around the same time and we ALL have ssn starting with different first 3 digits. Mr. Ludwig came to the US in 1924 and was assigned a SSN in 1977?? And Obama’s grand mother took that number and gave it to her grandson. Doesn’t one have to apply for SSN from the SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, a federal government agency?

        To addd to your excellent comments, the “final” obama birth certificate lists his race as African/American. He was born in 1961, long before that term come into usage. Also, his mother and grandmother reportedly both worked for the CIA so it is conceivable obama’s whole history was created, not factual. If I’m a birther, then so be it. People are asked for their birth certificte for far less important things (i.e – here in W.Va. we now have to show one to get a drivers license). Even if he doesn’t get re-elected, someone needs to devote some real time to getting to the bottom of this clown. America the Beautiful has been sold a bill of goods…

        JimBob – There have already been many investigations. You just have to look to find them, because the MSM isn’t going to report on it. The country needs to be presented with ALL of the evidence.

        There is so much that has been dug up on him, done by credible people who have gone to great expense and personal risk to learn the facts.
        Yet, they find themselves marginalized, if ever even mentioned, and they suffer death threats or, at the very least, devastation to their careers. They are usually made unheard and irrelevant.

        An eligibility hearing is now set for Jan. 26th. We’ll see if it goes the way of every other, including one scheduled before the Supremes, which, inexplicably, simply disappeared from the docket.

        In each case, the judge who agreed to hear it was paid a “visit” prior, and for some reason then either dismissed the case without explanation, or resigned.

        BTW, Judge Roll ruled against O in an attempt by him to legalize the confiscation of citizen’s retirement funds. Look what happened to him. It’s a message that you don’t try to be a hero. Should you hold any notions about upholding your oath to the Constitution…

        Further, you can be sure that if something like this were to be in question about a conservative, it would be heralded from one end of the Earth to the other. I can also say that even conservatives would demand compliance of their own, unlike progressives, who don’t care who this fraud is, but only that they win. Even if it is at great cost to our nation and to our countrymen.

        You may have noticed that there are more than 50 numbers possible in 3 digits. Do you think that the SSA was planning ahead for 999 states? Lets see what the SSA has to say.

        “Prior to 1972, cards were issued in local Social Security offices around the country and the Area Number represented the State in which the card was issued.”

        So what happend after 1972? Now it gets messy but explains why the SSN is from Connetict but people seem to be from Hawaii.
        “Since 1972, when SSA began assigning SSNs and issuing cards centrally from Baltimore, the area number assigned has been based on the ZIP code in the mailing address provided on the application for the original Social Security card. The applicant’s mailing address does not have to be the same as their place of residence.”

        http://www.ssa.gov/history/ssn/geocard.html

        So now we have to ask when Obama got his SSN. The above could explain why it is from a state where he has never lived.

        Pierre from NY: “Mr. Ludwig came to the US in 1924 and was assigned a SSN in 1977?? And Obama’s grand mother took that number and gave it to her grandson. Doesn’t one have to apply for SSN from the SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, a federal government agency?”

        As you will note from the email you are trying to debunk it is said that Obama’s grand mother worked for said federal agency. Prior to 1972 such things were handled in local offices. That is why it is interesting to know when Obama got his SSN.

        Btw to explicitly answer your question of the different 3 digit first numbers we again turn to the SSA
        http://www.ssa.gov/employer/stateweb.htm

        Just look up your state and see. Keep in mind if you applied after 1972 it is the zip code of the mailing address and not the residence that counts.

      • Vicki

        While checking with SSA on this number stuff I ran across this tidbit
        http://www.socialsecurity.gov/employer/randomizationfaqs.html#what

        Either because they finally decided to do something about how easy it is to guess someones SSN based on knowing the state of birth, Or because of all the people concerned about Obama’s birth certificate (you choose :) ) they have decided to randomize the number issued.

        Their claimed reason is:
        “Why is the SSA changing the way it assigns the SSN?
        The SSA believes that randomly assigning the SSN will help protect the integrity of the SSN. Changing assignment methodology will also extend the available pool of nine digit SSNs in every state.”

      • Joe H.

        Alex Fraiser,
        Prior to 1973, social security numbers were issued by state, after 73, they were issued by zip code. See:

        And this is one of a thousand reasons why the American people need to march right up to the white house gates and DEMAND he and the rest of his herd vacate the premises immediately. He is an illegal occupying the oval office where he has no right to be. and because he is an illegal alien, he is doing everything he can to grant amnesty to all illegals, because he IS one himself.

        Why are we letting this crap continue?

        STAND UP AMERICA AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT! Do what our Constitution says we MUST do. REVOLT!

      • moonbeam

        Here’s another point to ponder. How can someone who has never served in our armed forces be the commander in chief of them? It’s like to be a brain surgeon you only need a COLB from Hawaii. He is now practically disbanding our military, leaving us with our asses hanging out in the wind. I look at obama-the-joke and get sick to my stomach.

        All wannabe presidents should have to had served and fought for this country in our military. OH! And as a side note, they, as well as their parents, need to be natural born American citizens with PROOF of same. All others need not apply.

      • eddie47d

        “Disbanding the military” that is so untrue. If he wants to build an American base in Australia with a troop strength of 15,000 then I would say he is expanding the military. Several Presidents never served so that is unrealistic also. There are dozens of countries in our world who are run by militaristic leaders and they are some of the worst. Our system of free choice is much more compatible to freedom which allows the citizenry to make the decisions of who governs. If a military leader is chosen that is fine but with the approval of voters.

      • Tasos

        There is no provision in the Constitution that requires past military experience to be president. Our presidency is to be of civilian “authority.” Furthermore, just because someone doesn’t have military experience doesn’t mean that person couldn’t be an effective Commander-In-Chief. What this man is doing in the White House is detestable, and I believe, impeachable, but Congress doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to do it, and the Senate doesn’t have the votes to convict, nor the stomach to do it.

        George W. Bush: Vietnam War era (Air Force Reserve)

      • Alex Frazier

        That can be done, but it requires the commitment to die. To change what is going on can be accomplished as simply as marching 100,000 strong on Washington, armed. Make it known to the police ahead of time that you are marching armed to defend yourself, not to start some unlawful sedition, but that if they attempt to interfere with your lawful right to bear arms for the preservation of the free state, or your right of assembly to redress the government for grievances, they would be shot without warning. So don’t even show up in their riot gear.

        But if you do that, the military will show up. The point will get made, some changes might even be effectuated, but some people will die on both sides to see it happen. So people need to be prepared to commit.

      • http://naver Samurai

        Very true Moonbeam. I think they should do at least their hitch, now a days it is 4 years, so they will know what the military will go through when deployed. Clinton and Obama bin Laden never served. Obama because of his immigration status and Clinton went to college in England, but he did belittle his country while there. Acts of a coward. Clinton was a president of no morals. We all remember him saying on national TV, “I did not have sex with that woman.”, then to be caught in his lie. Obama bin Laden has no morals, ethics, patriotism, or beliefs that our country can actually turn around. See the examples we have of presidents that have never served? FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

        Yes, most of our Presidents were military men at one time.

        And Fred was the first commissioned military fairy! So what?

        “Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand von Steuben (born Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhard Augustin von Steuben; September 17, 1730 – November 28, 1794), also referred to as the Baron von Steuben,[1] was a Prussian-born military officer who served as inspector general and Major General of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. He is credited with being one of the fathers of the Continental Army in teaching them the essentials of military drills, tactics, and disciplines.[2] He wrote the Revolutionary War Drill Manual, the book that served as the standard United States drill manual until the War of 1812″

        Citizens certainly have the right to question any SS number which may be used illegally to gain benefits.Yet Singer Guy that burden of proof or guilt would fall on Obama’s grandmother if what you say is true. Any person who is given a SS number will automatically assume it is his/hers without question. I would never question mine and I doubt if anyone else even considers theirs to be someone elses. President Obama in all fairness would have assumed that his SS number was original and his,just like anyone else. Unless you can Prove that his birth certificate is not real then the question is mote and the only guilt would fall on his grandmother. There are also only 35 persons/families living in the USA with the name Obama. Yet there are at least two dozen SS numbers with Barack Obama’s name on them and issued in several states. Either the President did alot of interstate traveling in his day or someone out there is scamming his name in one big hoax. Don’t stop questioning someones integrity but make sure that the proof is irrefutable.

      • JIM

        THE QUESTION IS NOT WETHER OR NOT OBAMA HIMSELF STOLE THE SS CARD NUMBER. THE QUESTION IS ONE OF LEGAL OR ILLEGAL. THAT LEAVES OPEN THE QUESTION OF HIS CITIZENSHIP AND HIS BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL. CHECKMATE

      • 4USA2

        The bottom line question is if Obama’s first job was in Hawaii, as he claims, then why doesn’t he have an SS number issued from Hawaii?

      • eddie47d

        There could be several explanations such as Alex Frazier’s above (7:53) or whether that story about his grandmother is true.When SS cards were given out back then it wasn’t always at birth but when you applied for a job. I didn’t get one until I was in my teens and the same with my kids. There is no slam dunk Samurai so wipe that smirk off you face because it is only temporary.

        Kate,

        Yes I know.
        What we as a nation need to do is all 300 Million break away from this criminal form of leadership.
        As you noted it all this was done behind closed doors and if you ask 98% of the people you meet if we have “TWO Constitutions.”

        The first thing they do is look at you like you have two heads. Next they are quite clever to answer with mindless retorts like, No we don’t! Put down the Koolaid.

        We give a three hour lecture on this at least 2 times per week to as few as 75 people as well as many as 300.
        They leave these lecture’s spellbound, Why? We show them all the doucments that expose it all.
        I start the lecture with this quote, “I want you to forget everything YOU THINK YOU KNOW,” until you do you can never learn the TRUTH.

      • Kate8

        Good work, TIME, and bless you. You are really doing something to help educate people.

        The truth is that no one wants to hear the truth. They can’t deal with having their long-held beliefs, their paradigms, shattered. I’ve actually had people tell me they’d rather not know…would rather believe in a lie, than know things which are terrible.

        I think it has to do with feeling powerless. It’s just to much for most people. Unfortunately, ignorance is no protection from the plans of a few evil souls, and only results in them playing the game by the rules of the elite without realizing what they are doing.

        Keep up the good work. Truth always wins in the end.

      Hey Samurai, how do you like your supposedly “strong woman” candidate Michele Bachmann now? She wimped out and quit the presidential race. It figures you would support such a weakling, along with her big flaming husband.

        Sorry, but I was not addressing you. I was addressing Samurai in particular. I didn’t feel Michelle Bachmann was a strong enough candidate and make the comment about that awhile back. He and he wife got down on me for saying so. They slammed me for my opinion. His wife went on and on and put me down for assuming I don’t like strong women, just because I said the littlest thing about the person they were putting on a pedestal. And since you didn’t know the background of why I said what i did, please don’t assume you know me.

She has stated many things that are totally not true. She evidently doesn’t take the time to get her facts straight. You want my source? Just search Google for the lies and the darnedest things Michele Bachmann says. There are an endless supply. I do however like Ron Paul. He tells is like it is. And when he does, people don’t seem to be able to handle the truth of the matter. I would vote for him
